Meet Tom
My passion for anatomy and personal experience with injuries led me to complete a Masters of Physiotherapy at The University of Queensland.
I struggled with injuries as a teenager... It continuously stopped me from playing the sports I loved, like tennis and field hockey, but also running around with my mates. So at 16 years of age, I decided I would become a Physiotherapist and help other athletes avoid my mistakes.
Since graduating, I've worked with State field hockey teams, VFL, and AFLW athletes, and I've been a swimming coach for 10 years. My mission is to help amateur athletes and people from all walks of life recover from injury, manage pain, and stay active. I believe in open, honest care that empowers you to take control of your health.
